UFC 298: Volkanovski vs Topuria Ceremonials Weigh-ins live on Friday at 8pm ET / 5pm PT

 

[PurpleStorm]

The press conference was hilarious with Old Man Volk and a host of crazy stuff.

Let's see who makes weight. Hopefully everyone.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

I wonder what the over under is on Costa making it to the scale? Let alone make weight.

Here’s to hoping we get all the fights advertised on Saturday.

 

[Kryptt]

Boom !

1 Down!

 

[Pechan]

Costa looks like a greek god.

 

[Quietus]

This is a fake/ceremonial weigh in. They normally start at noon and fighters tricke in over a few hours. They waited till noon then the Entire main card makes weight in a span of 5 minutes?

Fake af. only the prelims are actually doing proper weighins with doubt/uncertainty. I believe they’re testing a new thing of weighing the main card backstage and making sure everyone’s on weight to make sure the show goes on, then having them pretend they’re on weight later ( 2 ceremonial weigh ins), only the prelims fighters are having to go out and make weight on camera.

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Happy all the main card fighters made weight, lots of good fights to look forward to on saturday!! lets go. Wanting Volk and Whittaker and Neal to win. Lets go!!!!.

Respect to Junior Tafa taking the fight on 1 days notice.. those Maori and Samoan and Tongan and Fiji guys are big strong as hell and have elephant bones, so it won't make a difference 1 day notice, wouldn't be surprised if he laid Rogerio out cold. I know the commentators will go hysterical that its 1 day notice lol its cute really, but those guys don't need any notice, they can fight anytime and are strong as Bears

Lets go!!! I hope Volk keeps the belt.. he said he wants to fight at UFC 300 and would be very glad to do it if he wins

 

[Royce's Gi]

LOL

Great bod on that lass

 

[FreedomCricket]

Great bod on that lass

I didn't expand the message you quoted but just assumed it was a reference to Junior Tafa, lol.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Crazy how most of these fights have two people with similar records. Very evenly matched opponents. Not sure if they just got lucky this time but either way, great job to the match makers for setting up this event.
